We are half rebuilding half retooling. SO we can do it. Dun see why we can't. No pressure from the Boss Les that we ought to make the playoffs.
Yeah, that is true...I should have said....you can't compete in the NBA with them starting, but if the overall goal is to tank, then sure....you can. DD
What are you talking about?!? Cbud played GREAT defense on BRoy. Roy was 5-18 the whole night, so I am having a hard time finding where he went off on cbud.
Chase is a steal! He seems real cool under pressure and is not fazed at the NBA level. I am real excited to see his progress this season.
Bud showed eye catching potential in the preseason and I am glad he did relatively pretty well in his first game in the NBA. The mental aspect of playing in the NBA, especially among rookies, seems to be a good indication of how well they will fare in their professional careers. So many physically gifted players just fell by the wayside due to their inability to mentally cope with the challenges that the premier basketball league in the world offered. Kudos to Bud for overcoming his first half mistakes and coming back strong in the fourth. The future bodes well for this young man. Go for it Bud!
I really didn't see much that Shane did wrong other than perhaps slipping too often into the "wheel cog" mode that he's used to. Ariza, on the other hand ... even before the second quarter collapse started, I was cringing whenever he put the ball on the floor because I knew a big fat FAIL was about to transpire. It just ticked me off to no end that the point guards were standing around and watching him the entire time. How many possessions did Kyle Lowry actually have the ball in his hands the 2nd quarter?
Yep he traveled, but it looks so smooth that the refs didn't see it! I didn't notice it until the the replay from the second angle in Clutch's video.
one thing that I notice, he always keep his cool and composure when playing.. doesn't matter if that a summer league, preseason or real season (although different productivity).. that's what I like from this kid.. hope he can improve in the defense (despite the slow feet, high center gravity, and lack of muscle).. oh yeah, one more thing, I hope that he doesn't always rely from shooting.. he could play with such intensity and fire with driving to the basket..
